Respect - What Does It Mean To Me?

Earlier this week we were set the task to create a poster about 'what Respect means to me?' It needed to be bright and bold, something that would be attractive to draw someone in to read them. The aim of this task, was for someone to read this so they would understand the meaning of Respect at Matawai School.  We could create them digitally, or fully hand drawn or a mixture of both. I choose to go old school and hand draw the whole thing.

Our poster had to include what respect sounds like, feels like, looks like and the golden rule to respect. To me respect means accepting that we as humans have different opinions. Respect can be a simple thing, just using manners or saying good morning to someone. Respect can be a strong thing if you use the right words. However if you do not use the right words that could make someone very unhappy. Even if you aren't best buddies with someone, still respect them by listening when speaking. It is the same at home, so respect parents by not back chatting. We should show respect to our parents all the time, if we think about it how dinner is on the table every night and how we have money to spend in town? It should be the same with staff and teachers, I wouldn't be writing this if it weren't for my amazing staff and teachers at Matawai School.

So my final message is to use manners, be grateful for what you have and think about what vibe you are setting to everyone around you. Remember the 'Golden Rule' treat others the way you want to be treated.

Here is my work...
I will add my picture soon
